IFL 2025-26: Sreenidi Deccan Cruise Past Dempo To Go Top Of Table
Indian Football League: R Lalbiakliana, Hadi Idrissou, and Fabrice Kah Nkwoh scored a goal each as Sreenidi Deccan FC produced a clinical display to defeat Dempo SC 3-1 in the Indian Football League (IFL) 2025-26 at the Deccan Arena in Hyderabad on Wednesday. This helped Sreenidi move to the top of the table with 10 points from five matches, while Dempo SC remained at the bottom with two points.
Carlos Vaz Pinto’s side took early control of the contest. A throw-in from the left by Jagdeep Singh caused a deflection in the box, and right winger R Lalbiakliana reacted quickest to fire in a left-footed effort from a tight angle to give Sreenidi the advantage.
Sreenidi continued to press forward and created a series of chances, with Ashish Sibi producing key saves to deny David Castañeda, including a sharp stop from close range in the 20th minute and a diving effort to keep out his header moments later. From the resulting corner, Castañeda’s header struck the post.
